The Virgin Mary

We held a virtual meeting on Wednesday, December 22. The topic of the meeting was ‘Holy Night – Remembering the Virgin Mary.’ We had esteemed guests and a colorful program filled different activities and performances. 

The meeting continued with Dr. Zeki Saritoprak’s short lecture on Mary’s birth and her childhood. It was remarkable to see how she was able to keep herself strong in a community dominated by patriarchy. Her faith was something to behold.

The meeting continued with a recitation of the Quran. Mr. Serdar recited a verse from the Quran about Virgin Mary and Jesus. 

Our long-lasting friend and scholar, Dr. Rosalie Marinelli made some very important remarks on the Virgin Mary. After several remarks from our participants, we ended the meeting. We will continue to have such events and remember the Virgin Mary every year.

Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Dinner – 2022

We returned to our Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Dinner. The dinner event was hosted at our location on 20th of November. We had dozens of guests from a variety of different backgrounds in Las Vegas. The atmosphere was great, the night was so relaxing, people were friendly, and everyone had a great time. The food that was provided was like a warm hug on cold winter nights.

Our dinner program started with an interfaith prayer. After the opening prayers and remarks by the two honorable men of religion, interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue Radio Show’s host, Imam Mujahid Ramadan, gave a speech on the importance of thanksgiving and interfaith dialogue. His speech was significant as he spoke as the vice president of Interfaith Council of Nevada.

Then we distributed wish cards among our guests, and everyone wrote their new year wishes on them

The event continued with a musical performance by the talented pianist and vocalist, Scott Nicholson. His 30 years of musical experience really mesmerized the crowd as we didn’t realize how quick the 20 minutes passed listening to him.

Closing remarks were made by Dave Sims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Summerlin Area Command Captain. He gave a speech on the importance of understanding others as a way of maintaining order in the society. He specifically requested people to keep an open heart and don’t dehumanize the police force as they are also human beings who try to keep civilians safe.

We would like to thank all guests, especially our esteemed speaker guests. Also, a special thanks to Scott Nicholson for his fantastic musical performance. Finally, an important thanks to our catering volunteers who prepared delicious meals for the event.

A Hadith Commentary – What Brings Salvation

Tonight, we  hosted Dr. Ali Shehata for one of the lecture series organized by Silver Sage Foundation. Dr. Ali had a commentary/discussion on one of the “40 hadith of Imam an-Nawawi.” There were guests from community members. We want to thank both Dr Ali for the wonderful discussion+talk and the guests for their participation. Everyone was engaged and  enjoyed the interaction.

Below is the hadith we had for a commentary tonight.

Abu Malik al-Ashari reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Purity is half of faith, and the praise of Allah fills the scale. Glorification and praise fill up what is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is a light, charity is proof, and patience is enlightenment. The Quran is a proof for you or against you. All people go out early in the morning and sell themselves, either setting themselves free or ruining themselves.”  (Muslim)
